Those of you who have read the Mysteries of Glass by Sue Gee, please could you explain the significance of the title? Ta Muchly.

I've not heard of it, but I browsed around and found this comment on a reading club website, which may help:

"All I can say is to quote the passage on page 270 which associates faith with light and says "How did solid earth become translucent glass? The answer with its meaning came as he bowed his head once more. No man who betrayed his calling...could escape some punishment. Earth became glass through purification by fire."

Blimey!...I might have known...jno again with great research...Many Thanks jno and that explains a lot! You wouldn't happen to remember which reading group site you saw this 'quote' on? Thanks Again.

this should be it - I've tried to use a short link which shouldn't be truncated by AB, but we'll see...

Hey jno!...do you ever sleep?...smile...Thanks for the tinyurl. I couldn't activate it from AB, but it was short and complete enough to copy and go elsewhere and type it into my address bar and I got the site...cornflower, wasn't it?...well, that's where I ended up, but couldn't find the quote...yet! Will continue to search for it - and more. Many Thanks again jno.

Hi Woodelf. Just popped in here for a few minutes and there you were. Hi to jno as well. Lots of Smiles. speak to you again soon. Big hugs and kisses, Lottie.

Talking of glass, I would just love to learn the art of stained glass. Perhaps one day.

hiya, Lottie!

Sorry the tiny url didn't link directly, but I'm not quite sure how your browser works, Woodelf. Yes, it is named Cornflower. The quote is not far down - in the tenth paragraph from the start of the page, if you can detect paragraphs, in a section beginning 'Barbara missed her stop...'

Hi Lottie, lovely to hear from you again...Big Smile and Wavy Hands! OK jno, will have a closer look and a slower one. Lottie, Big Smiles, Kisses and Hugs.
